Dear Summer,

It's been a whole year since we last spoken, and once again, your relentless heat is determined to be the ultimate pain in the ass. Your stubborn refusal to give me a break means at least a couple more months of your nonsense. Then, like the world's most infuriating dick tease, you'll throw in a couple of cooler nights when I don't need to have the fan or an AC running, only to revert to your old tricks.

Why do you cling so desperately when we all know Autumn is vastly superior in every way? It's only been nine days, and my loathing for you is already off the charts. After 4+ months of working 15-17 hour days with no vacation until August, I'd rather stay inside and sleep than leave the house to have to deal with your sweltering nonsense while on said vacation. I know I know, go to Alaska. I might actually do that just to get away from you for a week or two.

I usually appreciate the critters you bring along, and I'll admit, you do have some charm there. But now, house centipedes are invading my home for the third year in a row, and the cicadas won't shut the fuck up--seems even they've had enough of you.

So Summer....

Sincerely,

- Yvette

Denis Villeneuve's ‘Dune: Messiah' Starts Production in August 2025

“Dune: Messiah” is Villeneuve’s next film despite the filmmaker stating, multiple times, that it wouldn’t be. Yesterday, Deadline and THR reported that Villeneuve might have had a “change of heart,” and that he now wants to complete the ‘Dune’ trilogy by 2026. He’s currently working on the script and locking the cast.

I’d be very curious to know exactly how Villeneuve will attempt to pull off “Dune: Messiah.” Frank Herbert’s source material is not as audience friendly as the first book. If Villeneuve sticks to the source material, it would be a very different film than the first two. Chalamet’s Paul Atreides, now a powerful dictator, would not be the least bit likable. The storytelling isn’t blockbuster material — more solemn, less action. Good luck, Denis.

Not everyone seems to have realized that these first two ‘Dune’ films are not a “hero’s journey,” but more like a villain’s origin story. This ain’t ‘Star Wars.’ In ‘Messiah,’ Herbert tears down everything he built in the first novel, and where Paul finally ends up is really something to behold. It will be very hard to translate it into a tentpole blockbuster.

As you can tell, “Dune: Messiah” will present an immense challenge for Villeneuve — does he piss off the book’s fans or the token moviegoer? It could wind up that he angers both of these camps.

No way.

I already answered the question up there 👆

LOL

house of the dragon seems to start up quite slow (without the must-watch effect of S1- Milly was great).  

 gladiator 2

new hellboy movie (comics are great)

These images give the impression that Gladiator 2 will take a lot from the original- not something entirely new

‘A Quiet Place: Day One' Has Already Set Up July 30 VOD Date

So, you’ve just had a $55M opening weekend, a franchise record, and folks seem to really like your film. Expectations have exceed on all fronts. So, why in the living hell would you rush it to PVOD?

Paramount isn’t wasting any time on “A Quiet Place: Day One,” which is set to be available digitally on July 30, just 32 days after its initial theatrical release. I’m as stunned as you are, but this has actually become the norm. The other problem is that it’ll be pirated to death on all of the torrents sites.

This is very much one of the main reasons why theatrical has not been doing well. It’s just not mentioned enough by the trades, and filmmakers. A serious conversation should be had about this very topic, it’s time to tackle it head on. If a moviegoer knows that a film they want to see will be available to stream in just a few weeks, chances are that they won’t be going to see it in a movie theater.

Studios should maybe try not to announce PVOD dates so soon after opening weekend. It’s disrespectful not just to the filmmakers, but also to the theatrical exhibitors who are desperately trying to get audiences to embrace moviegoing again. Oddly enough, a notable exception to the rule is “Inside Out 2,” which was given an exclusive 100-day theatrical bow. It won’t be available online until late September.

You bet I am! Damn I have to re watch this movie @Lilja K Haven't seen it god knows how long.

It appears that Youtube censors religion (christianity, islam, buddhism). All have quite little monthly search results relative to their size, just 1.5 +  million per month.  'Stoicism' has more searches than all three combined (2 million per month)

There is massive censorship of the words Democrat and Republican.  each has an implausible couple thousand searches per month.

Trump currently has 8 million searches.  Taylor Swift has 9 million.  Elden Ring 13 million

Poster tribute 🤩
